Mos Def – Quiet Dog (Bite Hard)

Speaking:
One thing I want to assure them
If they think I’m going to change,
And compromise my attitude, my way of life…
In my expression… or in my… goal.
What’s politics? They are making me stronger…
And I’m much more stronger now

To the bang to the boogie
Say up jump the boogie to the rhythm of the boogie to be…
To the rhythm of the boogie to be

Their it go like simple and plain with prominent basic
Zulu arrangement, rockin amazement
Flocko, radio from heaven to pavement
Phony is the face but nothing to play with
Spent time hating it, but that ain’t changin it
God gave it to me, nobody is takin it
Therefore, move it on the bass for stimulus
Standing in the twilight, I’m watching them get it in
The walls are tremblin, the air is simmerin
She’s moving like more than the ears is listenin, WHOA NOW!
Testin your equilibrium
Soundwave boomin all over your eminence
Skin on skin and skin on skin again
Put it all get it all, get on, get it in
Ladies and gentlemen, mistas and misses’s
Cousins and other anto-and-synonyms
There it is
Boogie Man…

So and uh rock it, don’t stop
Brooklyn in the kitchen, heat up your stove top
Bang the empire, steerin the navigatin away
Preservation made the greatest hip-hop!
The cool-dude swagger look terribly corny
They flow so petty, unsteady, it’s boring
These dudes ain’t throwin, they yawnin
They need to get off it
So “wack rap” is all you can call it
Therefore move it on to Def for stimulus
Regardless what’s on it, what town you represent
A bullet for your audio settlement
A tower for tenement
I’m molded from all of the elements
A simmer down and manage the mayhem
I’m bright as the a.m
Engine rock n roll out the station
And blessed with the fresh since day one
I got it today done
We all going back to the same one
This constant motivation I stay with
Remarkable flavored
They all better market the greatness, WHOA NOW!
The Kid is from Bucktown
Your girl is in love now
Your chumps gonna front they get shut down!
Shhhuhhh!

And you don’t stop
I say we rock to the rhythm you don’t stop
I say you maintain the rock and your don’t stop the rock
You keep up the rock and your don’t stop the rock
Maintain the rock and your don’t stop the rock
You keep up the rock and your don’t stop the rock
Maintain the rock and your don’t stop the rock
You keep up the rock
